async mode 1227747

I saw some posts saying to stay away from bins that use async fueling. How do I know if my bin uses async fueling or not?

Watch your data log and it has a bit that shows Sync or Async. Looking at your BPW paramters I'd say your bin is Sync.

They all seem to hit Async under Decel or DFCO and some during PE, IIRC AE and PE... is also Async but there is no data in stream to show on these slow ECMs.

The SYnc/Async topic has come up from back in DIY-EFI days and years later on Thirdgen and the consensus was always Sync runs better and easier to tune. My own testing has proven this on any motor. Tuning VE with BLM data on an Async bin is a nightmare!

Thanks for the help. I opened a log file and saw what you were refering to.

Below is an example of a Sync vs. Async .bin file.

You know the Async fueling seems to work well in newer faster ECM's that also run only INT/Short Term Fuel Trim, no BLM. I think these slower ECM just can't do it fast enough?

So is this accurate in the xdf?:

**Async mode is firing both injectors.
Sync mode is alternate firing of the injectors each DPR**
----------------------------------------------------------
If you have a bin that runs Async fueling always it sucks especially for idle, it still uses Async for AE, by making the changes below you can run Sync fueling and without messing up Async AE code.
Minimum BPW Hyst Value: set to 305.33 Usec
Minimum BPW: set to 503.80 Usec
Max Asynch BPW: set to 11.99 Msec
Min Asynch BPW: set to 687.00 Usec

This will allow async AE mode while disabling regular async fueling.

In other words, if I wanted to try an async bin, doing the above makes it a synch bin that can be tweaked as easily as a bin that is originally a sync bin?

EDITED TO ADD:

Mark, can you verify the xdf notes about those values? Based on the asdu bin, the Min BPW Hyst Value and the Minimum BPW values are swapped in the notes regarding the disabling Async mode.

So for funsies, I ran a 4.3 bin last night on the way to work, all I did prior to installing the chip in the ecm was change the BPW and apply the spark advance hack and the egr hack.

Ran like crap in gear at idle stop. Figured it might. That data log is called ATKXwork111913, and the bin is ATKXtest.

After looking over a couple of things and making some changes to the desired c/l idle speed, changing the pertinent info too put the bin into synch mode per the xdf instructions, I burned another chip and drove it home this morning. While the ve tables need tweaking, it sure seemed to run different, in a better way, than with the ASDU bin. That bin is called ATKXsynch, and the data log is called ATKXsynchhome112013. (note that neither bins have had any ve adjustments.
